Quote of the Day: How fast do you write?

,

The faster I write the better my output. If I’m going slow, I’m in trouble. It means I’m pushing the words instead of being pulled by them.
—Raymond Chandler

    Yes that is the essence of story telling. Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down when you are constantly checking details. Had a great high school science teacher who talked about being able to explain something so that your grandmother would understand and appreciate.
